From UK documents but I think they're exactly the same as ICAO.The states of emergency are classified as follows:
a) Distress - A condition of being threatened by serious and/or imminent danger and of requiring immediate assistance.
b) Urgency - A condition concerning the safety of an aircraft or other vehicle, or of some person on board or within sight, but does not require immediate assistance.
